Poloniex Drops

Cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex has announced it is delisting a record 17 altcoins effective May 2.

While the majority of coins have a relatively small user base and propagation, the results of the decision were palpable across all 17.

Dips in value, some severe, accompanied a storm of protest on Twitter as both users and developers sort an explanation from Poloniex, which has so far not been given.

Altcoins across the board have seen turbulent times over the past months.
Many of the assets due to disappear from Poloniex – for example, ShadowCash – are no exception.
